For the 65th consecutive year, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra supports this traditional concert, which can be watched, on radio or TV, in over 100 countries on the world map, an event that celebrates the spirit of the waltz and of 19th century Vienna.

In 2023, it will be 150 years since the first concert given by Johann Strauss-fiul, the emblematic composer of the Viennese waltz, together with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, according to News.ro.

Who will be the conductor this year?

At the lectern of the Vienna Philharmonic will be the conductor Franz Welser Möst, general music director of the Vienna State Opera between 2010-2014, currently the music director of one of the most important American orchestras, the one in Cleveland.

The Austrian conductor also led the New Year’s concerts in Vienna in 2011 and 2013 and is known to the Romanian public thanks to his appearances at the “George Enescu” Festival in Bucharest – the last time, in 2019.

Franz Welser Möst has chosen a program with a special nuance in 2023, predominant being the waltzes and polkas signed by members of the Strauss family less known to the general public – Eduard Strauss, Josef Strauss, but also creations signed by Franz von Suppe and Carl Michael Ziehrer. Obviously, the most famous waltz signed by the most representative member of the Strauss family, Johann Strauss-son, will not be missing: “The beautiful blue Danube”. For the French polka Heiterer Muth, the Philharmonic Orchestra will be joined by the Vienna Boys’ Choir and Girls’ Choir.

The show will bring moments of virtuosity, through the interpretations of the masterpieces of the great classics, all over the world, reconfirming its status as an ambassador of peace, hope and friendship. The Philharmonic Ensemble, a mix of nationalities that speak the same voice – of music, includes artists from many countries – Austria, Romania, Germany, Bulgaria, Ukraine, New Zealand, Czech Republic, France, Uzbekistan, Russian Federation, Slovenia, Slovakia, Australia, Republic Moldova, Albania, Hungary, Poland, Belgium, Italy, Croatia and the United States of America.
